MESSAGE FROM CEO
Are There Any Benefits In This Adversity
The COVID-19 outbreak will challenge how we all do business – in both the short and the long run.
Today, the threat of COVID-19 feels somewhat similar to the financial turmoil we experienced in 2008.
And, like the last crisis, I recognize that energy and water costs may be the last thing on your mind.
However, based on the lessons from more than a decade ago, I want you to add energy utilities and water use to your checklist for action.
Find out why that will be important to your business as we manage this global crisis.
We are proud to announce the launch of the new company logo as part of the ongoing evolution of our company.
360 Energy has grown and evolved over the years, and we felt it was time for a change. We have refreshed our logo to reflect who we are today and to symbolize our future.

Energy Gives Jem Farms Its Competitive Edge
Jamie Mastronardi has been in the greenhouse business for 35 years. He grew up on the farm he now owns and leads. For him, energy is at the heart of the changes taking place across his rapidly expanding industry. “We now know a lot about how to set optimal light, temperature and humidity levels to benefit our crops. Energy use is key to balancing the greenhouse environment while also saving costs,” he says.

Making Sense of Energy Market Volatility
The plunge in world stock markets certainly grabbed the world’s attention. Why did it occur? What might it mean for energy prices? What should we make of the turmoil?
A few factors are having an outsized impact on energy prices. The first factor is the worldwide action to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The battle for market share between the Saudis and Russia have helped send markets for petroleum based products (and the markets that take cues from petroleum) into a tailspin. Travel restrictions and broad enforcement of social distancing have created considerable uncertainty for economies around the world.
